Support Group reassessment

Hi, I've been in the Support Group for 4 years now. I am reassessed on average every 18 months. The last time I asked I was told my award was until Oct 19, but I haven't had the usual forms through. What do I do? What can I expect? Do I just leave it? Do they sometimes decide not to reassess and just run the award on? I'm nervous it's just going to end with no warning.

@MercyMercyMe - For ESA, you stay as you are until DWP complete a reassessment. Sometimes they do just let things run on, though it may well be that you get an ESA50 Capacity for Work questionnaire next month.Most PIP awards have a definite end date, but that is a very different system.

A warm welcome to the community @MercyMercyMe.
I hope David has managed alleviate your concerns that it'll just end, ESA will continue until they reassess you.
Please let us know if you have any other queries.Community Manager

There could be a backlog and they might have given you longer. Best not to rock the boat and remind them. Let them contact you.

Thank you all. I’m thinking along those lines too it just makes me anxious not knowing what maybe in store and usually I’ve had the forms a lot earlier but I don’t want to call them!
